OTM has just launched a new online disclosure form. Blustem login required. You can start the form and save to finish later.

Software Disclosure Forms

For software and copyrighted works, transferring intellectual property can be accomplished via commercial licensing or through non-commercial transfer, such as distributing the work to third parties for research or other uses.

Mobile Applications Disclosure Forms

The iOS Developer Program License Agreement and the Android Market Developer Distribution Agreements have been signed so the Office of Technology Management can now help you get access to iOS and Android developer tools and is managing the submission of University-owned apps to Apple’s App Store and the Android Market.

Whether you are in the early stages of creating your smartphone or tablet app or have already developed one, fill out the Mobile App Disclosure Form to start working with the OTM.

Disclosing to the OTM

It provides the OTM with basic information which helps to evaluate, subsequently protect and potentially commercialize the intellectual property associated with your invention.

​It is not necessary to answer every question in order to submit a disclosure form. If you do not know an answer, if you have any questions, or would like assistance completing the form, please contact the OTM by:

Use the following guidelines while filling out the form:
